Still a Fighter

Sometime I forget that when Brian and I started dating in college, he planned to be a firefighter. Of course it sounded *dreamy* to me but it also made me anxious thinking about our long-term future. In 2013, he got hired by a reputable fire department, started training, and realized he didn't want that to be his career. Now he has a job that's a million times better for his skill set and I'm PROUD of him. He's still a fighter, but instead of fighting against fires, he fights for kiddos with special needs to have better opportunities, friendships, and fun.
